Evidence Based Practice
→ Evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing is a problem-solving approach to making
clinical decisions, using the best evidence available (considered "best" because it is
collected from sources such as published research, national standards and guidelines,
and reviews of targeted literature).
Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Older Adults
→ Integrity vs. Despair
→ People in late adulthood reflect on their lives and feel either a sense of satisfaction or
a sense of failure. People who feel proud of their accomplishments feel a sense of
integrity, and they can look back on their lives with few regrets.
Droplet Precautions
→ Droplet Precautions:
→ Use a private room, if available. Door may remain open.
→ Wear PPE upon entry into the room for all interactions that may involve contact with
the patient and potentially contaminated areas in the patient's environment.
→ Transport patient out of room only when necessary and place a surgical mask on the
patient if possible.
→ Keep visitors 3 ft from the infected person.
Why are masks beneficial with droplet precautions?
→ Masks help prevent the wearer from inhaling large-particle aerosols, which usually
travel short distances (about 3 ft), and small-particle droplet nuclei, which can remain
suspended in the air and travel longer distances. Masks also protect the patient from
the respiratory secretions of the health care worker. Masks discourage the wearer
from touching the eyes, nose, and mouth, thus limiting contact of organisms with mucous
membranes.
→ Any patients, family members, and visitors with undiagnosed, transmissible respiratory
infections require education to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing
and promptly dispose of the tissue. During periods of increased occurrence of
respiratory infections, offer a surgical mask to coughing patients and other
symptomatic people upon entry to the health care facility or office. Encourage the
coughing patient to maintain more than a 3-ft separation from other people in the
health care facility or office.
Factors Affecting Risk for Infection
→ Factors affecting the risk for infection include: integrity of mucous membranes, pH
levels of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, immune response, age, sex, race,
heredity, level of fatigue, nutritional status, stress level, use of invasive or indwelling
medical devices and immunizations (natural or acquired)
Abnormal Wound Drainage
→ Purulent drainage is made up of white blood cells, liquefied dead tissue debris, and
both dead and live bacteria. Purulent drainage is thick, often has a musty or foul odor,
and varies in color (such as dark yellow or green), depending on the causative
organism.
Pressure Ulcer Stage 1
→ A stage 1 pressure injury is a defined, localized area of intact skin with nonblanchable
erythema (redness). Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color
may differ from the surrounding skin. The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer, or
cooler as compared to adjacent tissue
Pressure Ulcer Stage 2
→ A stage 2 pressure injury involves partial-thickness loss of dermis and presents as a
shallow, open ulcer or a ruptured/intact serum-filled blister
Pressure Ulcer Stage 3
